This three-storey building, now functioning as licensed premises, is constructed from cream sandstone rubble, featuring squared and coursed sandstone additions. The ground and first floors are rendered and painted, with a fascia at the ground level, a string course at the first floor, and architraved windows on the second floor from later additions.

On the north elevation, the original block is recessed to the left and consists of two bays with regular fenestration. There is a pend leading to number 63, which has a boarded door on the outer left. The later advanced block includes a single-storey flat-roofed wing attached to the left of the original block, featuring a wide door and window. To the right, there is a full-height four-bay addition with four windows at the ground and first floors, two of which are blinded. A plaque commemorating Dr. David Waldie is located on the outer left. The second floor has three asymmetrical bays, with two taller bays breaking the eaves on the right, containing two windows and a piended roof, along with a smaller window on the outer left.

The south elevation features a two-storey wing projecting to the right, made of cream rubble and topped with a modern piended tiled roof, along with a door that has a timber forestair. The building primarily has 12-pane sash and case windows or sash and case pivot windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and is piended on the additions.
